This is a crazy wonderful place. Over and over, Iâ€šÃ„Ã´ve heard people say this is the super bowl of astronomy. Iâ€šÃ„Ã´m not so sure that is the truth. I feel more like this is the 3 (or 5 or 10) ring circus of astronomy. In every ring there is a new group doing their thing and playing to crowds. I sometimes feel that my attention is getting pulled in every direction as the biggest, the brightest, the shiniest, and the newest all juggle and flip to the music of the stars.

I am working on a video project on E. Dorrit Hoeffleit, perhaps the oldest living female astronomer in the world. The American Association of Variable Star Observers has compiled some excellent historic footage of her from various events. Can you help identify where and when the clips are from, and who is in the clips?

The popular social networking site Digg.com has added a new Podcasting section to their site. If you use Digg, please go to digg.com, click on Podcasts on the top bar. Search for astronomy cast and then click “Digg it” on the number beside our show.

This is a popularity contest. The more diggs we get, the more people will find out about Astronomy Cast. Thanks, Fraser and I really appreciate it.
